To ensure this thread won't be closed, you must adhere to several a number of simple rules;
  • Please use spoilers when quoting a post with pictures and/or videos.
  • When posting large quantities of media (pictures or videos), please begin spoilering after the first piece. Grouping related videos in the same spoilers & labeling is recommended.
  • No reposting of old material unless justified
  • Posting any material with little or no relevent discussion accompanying it
  • No passion-induced flaming of each other because 'x said y sucked' etc.
  • Keep the expression hate of music individuals/groups to a minimal level
  • No 'pagetopping' in any form whatsoever, as it constitutes spam equal to posts similar to 'first'.
  • No vulgar fan fics or wet dream stories. It is creepy, weird, and it dehumanizes the people who you are here to celebrate/discuss.
  • Normal posting standards that you find throughout the rest of the site still apply and will be enforced more strictly from here forward (2012/03/11)

Due to the poor nature of this thread in the past, temporary two-day bans will occur more than often if people slip up.

their former manager in which they had a lot of trust in allegedly 'tricked them into leaving, promising them million-dollar deals when he was actually neck deep in debt; they consulted with KKS and came back to CCM.'

paraphrased but that's the gist of it.

That was so damn good, unreal. Part of me is glad i wasn't around when DBSK was all together because finding out that this talented of a group would be breaking up must of been devastating. Still obviously nice there still doing there own things as JyJ and TVXQ. Would it be a stretch to say this was maybe the most talented Male Group ever?(including outside of Korea)

Shit that was really good. They need more stuff like this that shows off actually talent and less shitty dance battles to be honest. I actually liked taeyang's better but its clear he got outclassed lol.

Yeah Taeyang's english is a lot better and the song is a bit catchier but he never stood a chance haha.

No one seems to even be able to put together a group with a similar level of vocals, and then when you factor in the dancing and how good looking all of DBSK is, its just crazy. I'm always impressed just thinking about how SM managed to put the group together in the first place. Well atleast we can still anticipate the next JYJ album.

It'd be 10x more difficult now too because there are so many different groups and companies and shit now. At least then you were probably gonna go to 1 of 3 or 4 companies instead of the dozens that are out there now.
and even then they pulled like the most talented dudes from that generation too, unreal.

even if you took the most talented members of all the top boybands from different companies that debuted in the past 2-3 years... i still don't think they'd be as good

getting even sadder as i watch more and more videos on youtube

You also have to consider that they aren't debuting from a specific age bracket though, so a lot of the dudes that could have been considered same "generation" debuted earlier. so you'd probably have to take everyone from the 17-24 ish range now and figure out who you'd put. Maknaes from older groups and all that.

just did a quick runthrough of some of the bigger male kpop groups.

INFINITE: sunggyu + woohyun
B1A4: sandeul
BAP: daehyun
SHINEE: jonghyun + taemin
2PM: junho + jay park
U-KISS: kevin
MBLAQ: seungho + g.o
BEAST: gikwang + yoseob

jonghyun, taemin, gikwang, daehyun, jay park

that's the best 5 i could think of in terms of overall package. still don't think they compare though.

you said past 2-3 years. Shinee was '08?
jay parks also been in the scene since like 08 as well.
mblaqs been out a while too.
You could probably grab a couple guys from EXO though; they have quite a few talented members.

Jonghyun is the only guy who even comes close to TVXQ level of talent. The rest of those are passable at best. I would agree that TVXQ as 5 was the most talented boy group, anywhere not just in Korea. Looks, dancing, singing, etc. They had it all. Mirotic and Love In The Ice are in my opinion two of the very best Kpop songs ever.

I guess SHINee would be the current group that is closest to DBSK and they still debuted back in 2008, which is quite a bit ago in kpop years. And even though they have improved a ton since their debut they still aren't close to DBSK, Jonghyun is obviously amazing though and could fill a role on there quite well. And yeah Taemin has really stepped his game up in the last year or so.

My favorite Wrong Number performance. Imagine being this classy while singing and dancing, some damn nice suits.

initially i only went back to 2010 but there were so few quality options because boybands in the past couple years have been so mediocre lol

i think his appearances on immortal song really helped him quickly mature as a singer in a short period of time

^The problem with Shinee is that they are/were a couple members short of having all 5 being super talented. Like AFAIK Mincho still isn't really good at shit and Taemin wasn't nearly as good as he is now when he debuted.

I said past 2-3 years but the whole point was age range though, cause the point of DBSK was that they were the best dudes from that "generation" or whatever, so debut time doesn't really matter, it's about how old the boys are.

because you're making the wrong comparisons. tvxq is an amalgamation of upcoming solo trainees that lsm mashed together to form a group. the talent level and mentality to become a solo artist is completely different from the levels you expect from your average guy/girl group trainee.

more apt comparisons would probably include se7en, seo in gook, jang geun suk, lee seung gi, rain, kwill, huh gak, etc.
that said, only one of them debuted in the recent years but I guess that just further illustrates your point that there haven't been as many talented male artist debuts in recent memory.

on another note, I think the closest thing to tvxq is probably b2st [in terms of overall structure and concept]. iirc they were failed solo trainees also mashed together in an effort to salvage their careers and the company's investment.

Hmm, andy brings up a good point.
Also, isn't tvxq due to do their military stuff soonish?

Yeah, Minho is basically useless in terms of performance. He is an average rapper, average dancer, crap singer, although he does have a decent personality on variety shows and stuff. Taemin isn't great either, other than his dancing of course.

Onew and Jonghyun have the best voices by far, and imo are quite up there with the best voices in kpop. Onew has 0 personality outside of performing though, and is a mediocre dancer

I haven't watched that much Shinee in variety but isn't Minho's entire variety character kind of like the "I'm so hot/perfect" type?

I don't think so, he is super competitive and stuff though.

As for dbsk military who knows. I think Jaejoong already got his notice twice but was able to put it off, but yeah I expect them to go probably in the next year or two since they are starting to get up there in age.
